Cavitation defects in farm vehicle engines
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2019, Vol 64, Issue 1
Abstract
The article identifies and analyses selected examples of cavitation erosion occurring in farm tractor engines and their systems at different mileages. The analysis has been carried out on the basis of known theoretical rudiments of this phenome-non. The paper presents photographs from maintenance work selected by the authors, which illustrate the discussed matter graphically. There is a discussion on how to prevent cavitation phenomena occurring in coolant, which induce engine defects.
